"...Trudeau's influence will be felt for decades." Oh for sure, mf. People will be flocking to buy the same socks, costumes and party-wear as The Great Enabler. And that, is where his influence will begin and END.

Well said!!! Couldn't agree more!
The only thing I am waiting for...and hoping for, is more of a presence and voice from Scheer. Someone needs to ask some tough questions of Trudeau, his immigration policies, his economic policies, his international relations and trade policies...he seems to be getting a free pass from the opposition right now and many Canadians, myself included, feel there isn't a strong voice of opposition representing them. Scheer needs to correct this, not just for the support of conservatives, but for the support of the average Canadian.
Tread carefully. If the Canadian public gets even a faint whiff of Alt-Right, it's the politcal wilderness for the Conservatives for a long, long time. It is nothing more than a marginal, fringe movememt in this country. You may surround yourselves with like minded Alt-Right types and build the illusion that you are everywhere but you ain't.
The stink is just gettin stinkier lol
Conservatives' reaction typical of losers, Maxime Bernier says
OTTAWA -- Newly independent MP Maxime Bernier says the personal attacks on his character by his former Conservative colleagues are typical of losers.
In an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CTV's Question Period, to be aired at 2:30 p.m. EST on Bell Media stations, Bernier says the party knows most conservatives agree with him.
"They know that and they don't have the courage to do these reforms. They don't have the courage to speak about that. And they cannot fight me on real issues," Bernier said on the Evan Solomon Show.
"Now they're going to personal attacks. It's typical of a loser. The losers are doing that. They don't want to have real debate."
Bernier surprised the Canadian political world Thursday when he announced he was leaving the federal Conservatives to start his own party.

In that case what exactly is the difference between the Liberals and Conservatives, if they both play the PC game all the time ?
Both have to hang around the center if they want to form governments in this country. This is not a sign of weakness for either of them. It tells us that there is a broad consensus in Canada about how most Canadians wish to be governed ... one that's missing from our next door neighbour's political quagmire. If your particular political hobby horse is not being ridden by either, perhaps you are out of step with your own culture ... and tough luck.
It's coming. It's coming. When it does you'll hear this name abundantly; Hamish Marshall.
And?
The Bernier headache is just beginning
In quitting the Conservative Party, Maxime Bernier has relieved party leader Andrew Scheer of one problem, while creating other, much bigger ones.
The former Conservative cabinet minister announced on Thursday that he is leaving the party to start one of his own. The decision follows a week of controversy, ignited by a series of tweets from the rogue MP on the subject of immigration. In them, he decried the federal Liberal’s “cult of diversity” and suggested too many newcomers would create “little tribes” that would, in turn, cause division across the country and erode Canada’s identity.
While some felt the Quebec MP’s remarks were spot on, others inside his party considered them intolerant at best and, at worse, borderline racist. Unquestionably, they were unhelpful and intentionally provocative, and not something a contented MP would do, knowing the sensation they would cause and the uncomfortable position in which they would put Mr. Scheer. Likely, that was the whole point. Mr. Bernier probably knew he would soon be leaving.
The reality is, Mr. Bernier never ever accepted Mr. Scheer’s razor-thin victory over him in last year’s leadership vote, one in which the ballots were immediately destroyed, denying anyone the chance of reviewing them for irregularities. There is also the fact that for all Mr. Scheer’s good points – including an amiable, open disposition that is the exact opposite of his predecessor, Stephen Harper – he does not enjoy unfettered loyalty. He certainly never received it from Mr. Bernier.
As expected, most Conservative MPs closed ranks behind their leader, denouncing the move of their colleague as selfish and predictably unpredictable. But know there are others who are going to miss him, not simply for his quirky, charismatic personality, but also for the influence he holds inside his province. And no matter how you spin it, this is not good news for the Conservatives.
This is the first true crisis of Mr. Scheer’s leadership and how he handles it will be revealing. The hope inside Tory circles is that it will toughen him up, help gird him for what’s expected to be a nasty campaign against a formidable, battle-tested foe in Justin Trudeau. What Mr. Bernier has done is give Mr. Scheer a very public shove. Now, people are waiting to see the manner in which Mr. Scheer shoves back.

He can't split a pea to make soup.
What the name of his party?
Who followed?
The convention is on CPAC and there is no turmoil.
